Many thanks to Agata Lulkowska, photographer, filmmaker, and Researcher of Indigenous Cultures of Colombia at Birkbeck, for continuing our blog with a great piece and some wonderful photographs from the Sierra Nevada. Take a look!

Many thanks to all who attended our seminar at the Instituto Cervantes on Thursday 18th April. It was a great success, and we all found the mix of presentations from the perspectives of researchers, students, publishers, translators and librarians to be a positive and informative experience. A full report of the session will be available on website shortly. We look forward to the seminar on Latin American fiction, details tbc later this year!

Interested in attending our upcoming fiction seminar, but too busy to spend the whole day? We’re very pleased to offer a conference-only fee of just £10 for up to two sessions (lunch not included).

Join us for talks by Peter Bush, Stuart Davis, Juan Angel Juaristo, Daniela Omlor, Jennifer Rodríguez and Frank Lough, as well as discussions with librarians, publishers and translators. It promises to be a great day!
